auto insurance coverages in wyoming

Required coverages

Liability insurance is required for all motorists in Wyoming. This helps pay others' medical expenses or car repairs after an at-fault accident.

The state requires you to carry liability coverage with at least the following limits:

$25,000 in bodily injury liability per person

$50,000 in bodily injury liability per incident

$20,000 in property damage liability per incident

These limits often appear as 25/50/20. You can select higher limits, if you prefer, when you customize your policy.

Uninsured motorist coverage — which helps financially protect you in the event of an accident with an uninsured driver, or in a hit-and-run situation — will be automatically added to your policy unless you reject it in writing.

Optional coverages

You can typically add the following extra protections to your Wyoming auto policy to give you added peace of mind if you ever need to make a claim:

Collision

Comprehensive

Uninsured motorist

Medical expense

Rental car reimbursement

Towing and labor

If you finance or lease your car, comprehensive and collision coverages may be required by your loan or leasing agent.

Uninsured drivers in Wyoming

The Insurance Research Council estimated that 8.7 percent of Wyoming drivers were uninsured in 2012. On the bright side, this was below the national average of 12.6 percent, but that's still a lot of uninsured drivers on the road.

Uninsured motorist coverage is designed to offer financial protection from uninsured drivers, who may not be able to pay for your medical expenses or repairs after an accident you didn't cause. It's not required in Wyoming, but it will be added to your policy automatically unless you decline it in writing.

wyoming’s laws on digital proof of insurance

The Cowboy State has deemed electronic proof of auto insurance OK — meaning you can just pull up your car insurance ID cards on your phone or other smart device if you ever get pulled over. And, of course, the good ol' paper cards are still acceptable too.

filing an SR-22

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance company can file on your behalf if the state requires it. The SR-22 proves that you have the legally required amount of coverage through your insurer.

Drivers whose licenses have been suspended may need to file an SR-22 through their insurers for up to 3 years.
